baby steps

Meredith has started taking steps. Last week it was 2 or 3 at a time and now this week she can toddle across the whole room. I don't call her a walker yet though because she isn't quite proficient yet and the preferred method of transport is still crawling. I have a feeling it's coming soon though. I know this picture isn't terribly exciting but there she is doing the Frankenstein walk.

We had a fun weekend and I got lots and lots of cute pictures. She had fun in her crib. That seems to be the go to place when we need to contain her for short periods of time.

Then we went to the zoo and met up with Shannon & Renee (& company). We've been to the zoo many, many times this summer because we are members. Meredith is pretty much oblivious to the animals except when we are at the farm area. She goes nuts when she sees the goats. There are little goat food machines where you can put in quarters and get goat food. Then you stick your hands through the holes in the fence and the goats come up and eat out of your hands. She LOVES to pet the goats. She was jumping up and down, up and down. She had a blast.

Poor litle thing was all tuckered out after a couple hours.

On Sunday, we headed into downtown St. Paul for the farmers market. We got all sorts of goodies like potatoes, raspberries, corn, kettle corn, and a smoked chicken.

This is my first attempt at Photoshop. This picture was dark and full of shadows so I attempted to lighten it and play with the colors. Please don't laugh. I really need Photoshop for Dummies. But in my defense, it comes with absolutely no instructions whatsoever. Zero, zip, zilch, nada.
